October 23rd 2023, and the world could be in a better place now. A recent terrorist attack at a Russian airport has caught the world by surprise. And people want justice, many of the people are accusing the former terror group, Al-Qatala once more. However 141 are suspecting an old ultra-nationalist enemy of theirs.

Vladimir Makarov, an enemy that the task force has known for some time. Countless encounters with Makarov and his private military. It shows Makarov’s playbooks entirely, yet in the wake of this attack, a new man is arriving. The Story now begins, located at Alejandro’s base located within Mexico, at 141’s new hanger.

During a meeting, Captain Price was debriefing his team upon the attack. When Laswell called into the conversation, Price answered it. All Laswell said was “Hello, John” and Price replied “Laswell, anything new going on ey?”. Laswell stated “Makarov was confirmed to be a part of the terrorist attack, secondly Alejandro’s got your new guy”.

Price chuckled as he said “I ain’t surprised to hear that he was a part of the attack”. He then added “Eh new guy you said? We got another initiate?”. Laswell replied “Right John, one of those guys from the 75th showed potential for the task force”. Although Ghost stated “Bloody hell, having to work with the Yanks now”.

Laswell stated “Just give the guy a chance, besides he shows potential”. She added “Besides, he graduated from RASP at the age of twenty two”. Although Soap stated to himself “Tha Guy den bheachd gu bheil e sònraichte, seallaidh mi dha a chaochladh”. Out of no-where, there was a response to Soap’s statement.

“Cén fáth go bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh go bhfuil tú níos fearr ná sinne”. Only then the folks at the table turned around as the American walked up. Alejandro stated “Never knew you guys recruited an Irish man into the group”. Although Alexander didn’t even look Irish, brown hair and hazel eyes, Soap looked at him hella confused.

Soap stated “This man ain’t even Irish, he’s just American”. However Alexander replied “Táim ró-Éireannach, tagann sé ar fad ó thaobh mo sheanmháthair”. He stated “Anyways, the name is Alexander, folks back in the 75th just called me Dirty Alex”. Ghost then asked “Why the bloody hell did they call you Dirty Alex?”.

Alex replied “Quite simple, I had a knack for blowing things up”. Price asked “So you're Irish, ay?” and Alex replied “Well Irish Descent is more like it”. He added “Served in the 75th from the age of twenty two until now”. Price nodded, he said “Alright, well Gaz go set him up”. Gaz nodded and said “Come on, I’ll show you around”. 

Both Alex and Gaz walked off, as the two were discussing something. Meanwhile, Soap just stated “Fucking hate the new guy already”. Price and Ghost looked at Soap now, before Ghost replied “Something troubling you now Johnny?”. Only for Soap to reply “Nothin’ you guys can solve many generations of rivalry between us Scots and them Irish”. 

In the meantime, both Gaz and Alex walked over to an area. Gaz stated “Alright this’ll be your quarters until then” Alex nodded in response. Gaz added “Just get yourself setup then once you’re done we can get your gear”. Alex nodded as he went to figure his quarters out, he tied up his Irish Flag onto the wall, so it was over his bed. 

Once he had his own area set up, he came out of his quarters. He stated “Alright, I am quite good now” Gaz nodded and took him to their equipment room. Gaz stated “here is our equipment depot, I technically manage it as im the weapons sergeant”. Alex, however, without even saying anything went and grabbed an HK416.

Gaz then said “Ah an 416, first time I’d see someone carry that”. He added “Most of the time, we just use the M4 SOPMOD Still”. Alex replied “in the 75th, we transitioned from the M4 platform to the HK416 platform, a much better platform”. He added “Technically speaking, both are the same, it's just that HK has better modifications”.

Gaz nodded before he said “I mean if you’re wanting to rock the 416 go for it”. He added “My job is just to ensure that you’re equipped for the missions”. In the process, Gaz grabbed a suppressor, foregrip, laser/flashlight combo, and an EOTech Sight. However when he turned around, Alex was already modifying his rifle to his details.

Alex’s modifications were ideally the same, except for the sight. He chose a EOTECH EXPS2-2 with G33 Magnifier for his sight. Gaz then asked “Why a flip-sight?” Alex replied “I can easily go from short-range to long-range when necessary”. And Alex has a good point because with his sight he could be able to do that.

However as they were walking back to the group. There was some activity, like there was commotion going on, which the two quickly got back. There was a brief video playing, which showed Makarov’s private military raiding a prison in mexico. Price said “Why the hell are they raiding a prison in mexico?”.

Laswell replied “They’re going after inmate 287, who was transferred earlier that morning to another prison, not far from your vicinity”. She added “John, whoever Prisoner 287 is.. Makarov shows high-interest in them due to some reason”. Price nodded as he looked at his team and said “We’re wheels up at 19:00, I want to find this prisoner”.

Alex then walked off to his quarters for a brief period. During this period, he was maintaining his new rifle and checking his magazines. Gaz walked in with some other equipment for their raid upon the prison. During this, Alex was preparing his plate-carrier, before he said “It’s just another day in the office”.

Gaz chuckled and said “Right, just tonight’s gonna be hell”. Although it was two hours until, it was time for them to depart for the prison. They had to move quickly, because the private military might have already been attacking the prison. The Task Force loaded up in their blackhawk, heading for "Altiplano”.

Their main target of interest, Prisoner 287 who supposedly has Cartel Ties. Except, Task Force 141 had not realized who 287 truly was.

Chapter Text

Late at night, their blackhawk approached the prison following the main road. They saw multiple vehicles driving on the road now. An RPG then was fired from a vehicle at the gate of the prison which Price said “Looks like we arrived just in time”. Due to their helicopter blending in, the private military had thought their helicopter was a part of it.

The Helicopter then hovered over the main building and they repelled down. As they took position on one of the doors now. They breached the stairwell, making their way down to the fourth floor, because 428, the inmate, was bound to be on the fourth floor. Yet they opened the door, they were met by the private military looking for the inmate.

They found one of the control-rooms, which the task force quickly cleared. Alex went over to the camera system and went through the controls. He found the wing where 428 was located, it was heavy with security like it was fight to the death. All he said was “I found 428, the cells in the third floor south wing”.

Price looked through the third floor and said “We got heavy movement”. All Ghost added “Looks like another day for 141, lets do this Capt”. While 141 began to move, Alex on the other-hand rigged various anti-personnel mines in the room. He knew that the enemy combatants would come to the floor to see what happened.

During their time going down another stairwell, they heard explosions. They turned around as Alex was catching up to them now and Ghost looked at him. Before Soap asked “Did you seriously rig their bodies with explosives”. Alex replied “Listen I gotta cover up our tracks, besides who knows how many people they sent to that room”.

move rather quickly because of movement approaching behind. Price was leading them to the south-wing of the prison, the wing where the most notorious was held. Upon approaching the wing, they held up against a door.

They heard voices on the other side, which they breached the wing. The Guards held aim at 141 which they were at a stand-still. Alex stated “No disparen, somos fuerzas especiales” and the guards lowered their guns now. As they approached the door for the inmate, Price then said “We’re here for the inmate”.

The Guard nodded and he said “Inmate 428, approach the door”. However Price stated “Screw cuffing the inmate, open the damn door”. The Guard gulped and he went and opened the door where the inmate stood in the darkness. The light of the hallway only illuminated her back, which Price said “428, turn around slowly”.

However the female then said “Surprise to see that you came for me Price”. Valeria turned around, seeing her surprised 141 entirely. Soap then said “Your inmate 428? Why the hell does Makarov need you?” and Valeria replied “Smuggling obviously”. However there was commotion going from the doors, which Price shuts the door.

Price then said “Defensive perimeters, we’re ensuring that 428 remains”. Most of the task force took their own defensive position. Alex took his own position near 428’s door, where he was maintaining one line of defense. However Valeria, came up to the door and said “Y’know Price, it’s you guys against an entire regiment”.

Price remained quiet and said “Shut up Valeria” but Valeria continued to talk. Although all that happened is, Alex went and shut the slot to her cell. Once he did that a few of the private military personnel entered the wing. Price and Soap fired upon the soldiers, while Alex took cover and he was covering the door as well.

Over the intercom, a Russian voice said “You should not have come here, Price”. And it seemed like Makarov was aware of the situation going on. The Voice continued “Your task force will not just simply stop me from taking 428”. Although Alex looked at the guys and he then looked at the guard before he said “Open the door”.

The Guard went to open the door now, which Alex walked in. Valeria watched outside from a window as soldiers ran across to the prison wing. All she said was “Y’know it is quite interesting when you see many soldiers run for a person like me”. She added “I must be very special if they are putting all these men into their graves for me”.

Valeria asked “Have you ever had someone willing to go through all lengths”. Alex grabbed her arm and said “No, but if I were to disappear I know I would”. Valeria glared at him and said “You can let me go, I can’t truly run anywhere”. Alex replied “Sorry sweetheart, I can’t let you go at all, you just gotta deal with it”.

Valeria just said “You did not just” and Alex replied “Yeah I did”. He placed her down at a barrier near him and he took position again. While he took aim, Makarov’s own military continued to come at them now. Valeria crossed her arms, like she was just pouting like some brat now, trying to annoy him now.

All Alex said was “If you think pouting like a child is gonna change things”. He added “You’re mistaken, you ain’t changing anything Lass”. He shot a few rounds off at a few personnel, and he stated “Besides, I read about you in the papers, Valeria”. Valeria rolled her eyes, she was trying to make it seem like it wasn’t a big deal.

However eventually there was a break in personnel. Price then said “We’ll take the chance and make our move” which he stated “Soap, Ghost take lead”. Both Soap and Ghost went first, which Alex then took rear, they were protecting Valeria. As they went through the building, it seemed like a ghost-town with how quiet it was.

Valeria still didn’t like the idea of wearing a prison jumpsuit. Thus why she barely wore the top and she primarily had a tank-top underneath. Although for Alex, he wasn’t complaining much because despite her history, she still looked good to him. Of course he wasn’t gonna tell her that because that’s literally a bullet to his head.

While they approached the upper-levels of the prison. There was commotion going in the stairwell, they were going to the third well. Alex looked at the team before he set up a trap on the stairwell. This was to ensure that their cover was trapped in case their enemy decided to continue to go up-stairs to their location.

In the meantime, Price then said onto his radio “Bravo 6 to command”. Only for Laswell to reply “Come in John” and Price stated “We need immediate evac”. Laswell replied “We’re on the works John, there’s heavy concentration upon your AO”. Alex stated over his radio “We’re sitting ducks in this damn prison, we don’t have the ammunition”.

Laswell replied “I am aware of the situation, Alex but we’re in a shithole”. She added “Makarov’s reinforcing the units there”. Nikolai came over onto the comms and said “Hey sorry i'm late, Price, you guys need Evac once again?”. Price replied “Nikolai, we need immediate evac, we got personnel swarming our location”.

Nikolai replied “Alright I’ll be on my way, I'm 30 minutes out”. And the task force continued to move through the building heading up to the roof. Behind them the trap had gone off, to which Alex stated “Looks like we’re being followed”. Ghost added “Right, let’s be on the roof when they get up here” and they kept moving.

As they climbed the stairwell heading to the roof now. One thing that they all knew is that they were going to have to make a stand on the roof. Until Nikolai gets there and extracts them from the prison, it is gonna be one hell of a fight.

Chapter Text

Task Force 141 kept moving to the rooftop, which they took position. Price said “They’ll surely be coming for us, get ready to fight to the death”. Alex placed Valeria within a corner of the place, which he took his own position near her. He watched a large number of personnel converge onto the entrance of the prison.

He stated “Capt looks like we’re on the last line, they’re coming in mass numbers”. Ghost then said “Makarov’s throwing all he’s got in the prison at us”. Implying that it was going to be 141 vs an entire battalion. This wasn’t a challenge, besides the task force has handled much worse than just some battalions.

Valeria just stated “Just give it up, you ain’t gonna win this fight”. However Alex looked at her and said “Shut up, no one asked you for your opinion”. Valeria replied “Do you even know who I am, I will have your tongue cut out”. Alex grabbed some duct tape from his bag and he puts it on her mouth now.

Soap just said “Thank god you shutted her up, she’s such an annoying bitch”. Alex just replied “Annoying yes, a bitch she ain’t”. As he took aim, Ghost asked “Why you defend her if I may ask, Sergeant. It seems you’re defending her in a way”. Alex replied “Listen, just because she’s an enemy doesn’t mean we have to treat her like shit”.

Alex added “We can still be hard yet still generous. Remember how the British treated the German POWs in World War II”. As he referred to Donington hall, where the British treated high-ranking German officers luxuriously in order to get intel. Price stated “You remember that part of our history?” Alex nodded as he said “history fanatic”.

However the first paramilitary soldier came through the door. Soap shot a round and said “Alright looks like we’ve been discovered now”. And they all took aim at the door, which they waited for personnel to come up. However American forces came out of the door which threw them off now. One of the Americans said “Put your guns down”.

However Price stated “Who the hell are you, we are authorized to capture Prisoner 427”. Yet it seemed like there was massive confusion now. Alex looked at them and said “Lieutenant?” as the Ranger looked at Alex and said “Alex, what the hell are you doing here”. Price asked “Wait wait wait, you know each other”.

Alex nodded and said “I served in his platoon during my time in the second battalion”. As the Lieutenant then asked “Who the hell are these guys”. Captain Price said “Captain Price, SAS” and he then asked “Why are you guys here”. The Lieutenant replied “We were sent on behalf of interest of Prisoner 427, Shepherd is interested in the person”.

Captain Price groaned at the thought of hearing Shepherds name. The fact that Shepherd wanted Valeria, obviously meant she was a pawn to him. Price said “Sorry Lieutenant but Laswell cleared us for 427’s interest meaning she's with us”. Alex saw more converging Russians and he said “Guys we got an issue”.

The Lieutenant and the Captain came over and saw the russians. The Lieutenant said “Ah fuck, we’re looking at maybe two battalions now approaching”. Price stated “Then I’m taking over command of your platoon Lt”. Price said “141, begin setting up a defensive position, they’re gonna throw everything they got at us”.

Both the 2nd Ranger Battalion and Task Force 141 teamed up. Shepherd however came over the comms and said “Lieutenant sitrep”. However Price replied “Hello Shepherd” and Shepherd stated “Hello Price, long time I must say”. He added “What happened to the Lt” and the Captain replied “He’s fine, he got us tapped into the joint comms”.

Shepherd stated “You know then why I have the rangers out there in Mexico”. However Price replied “Yea and you ain’t having 427, she's of interest for us”. Shepherd argued “I outrank you price” however Laswell stated “And I outrank you Shepherd”. Shepherd stated “Oh great, even Laswell. This was supposed to be a quick and clean operation”.

However a rocket flew over and struck the side of the building. It seemed like the assault had begun and both the 75th and 141 began firing rounds off. Five men were with Alex, as they were defending the wall-side from any attacks. While the other six were guarding the door and assisting when needed.

Nikolai came over the comms and said “I'm fifteen minutes out”. As the battle ramped up, two BTR-80s appeared, firing on the one position line. Alex moved Valeria now as they sat near the helipad where he said “Who’s got an AT4”. The Lt said “Uh only one of us has an AT4 upon us” Alex said “Perfect, one AT4 for two BTRs”. 

He had to come up with a quick idea, because the 30mm would’ve been an issue. As he grabbed the AT4 from the soldier as he went and aimed. He quickly fired a round off at one of the BTRs, causing it to explode upon impact. The other BTR-80 fired back and he quickly got into cover away from the kill-zone.

In the meantime, they were thinking about how they’d get out of the situation. However over the American comms “Predator Drone is in the region”. Alex said “Oh thank god the Predator is overhead to relay support”. And he grabbed his radio and thought for a second “Gray Eagle, I need a relay on the BTR-80 shredding us apart”.

Only then one of the voices came through and said “This is Gray Eagle, repeat that AO”. And Alex replied “BTR-80, uh South of our location, main road firing upon us”. He added “It’s next to the burning rubble of the other Armored Carrier”. The Voice then said “Uh, confirmed view on the BTR-80, firing upon for effect”.

Within a minute, a missile struck the BTR-80 causing it to also erupt. Alex sighed in relief as an Mi-Hind flew into the prison, as Nikolai said “I’m here price”. Price said “Bloody hell thank god you’re here Nikolai”. Meantime Alex grabbed Valeria and dragged her to the helicopter now and he put her in the helicopter. 

Task Force 141 loaded up into the helicopter and it took off, they switched back to their normal comms which Shepherd replied “Relay on status”. And then Laswell said “Valeria’s been captured by Price, we’ll relay any information to you. Back at the secret base for 141, in the middle of Alejandro’s main base.

Alex held Valeria by her arm as Valeria was just muffling due to the tape. Alex did the favor and removed the tape now and he said “What”. Valeria glared at him and said “You must just love holding me close to you thinking you can get away with it”. She added “Thinking you can just manhandle the queen of Los Almas”.

Alex replied “Oh shut up Valeria, don’t even lie to yourself”. As he puts her in her own cell as he said “Even you enjoy being manhandled”. He walked off now, all Valeria said “Fucking Irish prick, maybe its a good thing that England occupied you”. Alex stopped and he came back to her cell and said “The fuck did you just say”.

Valeria replied “You heard what I said, what are you gonna do about it?” and she added “You can’t hurt me due to your stupid geneva convention”.  Alex replied “That’s back when I was in the Rangers, but I ain’t no more” as he opened her cell door. Valeria backed up in fear now, maybe she overstepped a line with him now.

Alex intimidatingly got close to her, he only stopped when he felt like he made his point. As he shuts her cell door once he walks out. He walked away from her cell, as he left her in her own mixed stance of fear and other emotions.

Chapter Text

The next day, the task force were standing together discussing their next mission. And once they were done, Alex went to get ready but Price said “Hold up”. Alex groaned and said “What now?” and Price replied “We’ll need you to talk with Valeria”. Alex asked “Why do I need to even stay back and talk with her”.

Price stated “Because for some reason you can get through to her”. He added “You’re able to break through that steel wall and get what you need out of her”. Alex sighed and said “It’s not that hard, you just exploit their vulnerabilities”. He added “For her, she hasn’t had an actual male who’ll treat her in the way she wants”. 

Ghost stated “What do you mean in the way she wants?”. As Ghost came out of the shadow, Alex replied “I’ve read her body language”. He added “She’s sorta in a touchy state but with me I just put her in her place with ease”. And Price just asked “Do us the favor lad” Alex nodded and said “Alright I will, but you guys owe me this time”.

Ghost nodded and the team went off now, leaving Alex behind. Alex went to go to her cell now and he saw Valeria walking around. He said “So Valeria, I got sent here again to talk with her” and he chuckled at her. Valeria remained quiet and she then said “I ain’t tellin you shit” but Alex replied “Oh I’ll get you to talk”.

As Alex walks into her cell and he puts a chair down before he sits. As he looked at her now and said “Now, then we can discuss things”. He then asked “What is Las Almas doing to aid Makarov” Valeria shrugged “I don’t know I haven’t kept up to date”. But Alex argued “Bullshit, I know they had an inside man giving you updates”.

Valeria replied “I don’t know okay, I mean I heard the guards talking but”. She added “I never knew anything about the Cartel after the arrest”. Alex was unpleasant with her result, he knew those cartel chicks were hard to break. So he wanted to mess with her more psychologically, as he then said “Your tank top”.

Valeria said “what about it exactly” as she looked down. However Alex said “Take it off” and she then looked at him and argued “I am not”. Alex replied “Then you know something about Las Almas then” but Valeria stated “I don’t know”. Alex then told her “Take your damn tank top off” which Valeria looked at him.

Valeria then went and took her tank top off slowly knowing that’s what he wanted. As she looks down at the ground, feeling his gaze upon her. Alex asked “So tell me about yourself Valeria, grew up in a nice family, why join the cartel”. Valeria replied “For the power, I mean.. being the most feared person in Mexico”.

Alex nodded although he said “You sure cause from what I’ve read”. He added “You had issues with the girls in high school that led you into the military”. Valeria only asked “how the hell did you find about that incident”. Alex smirked as he got up and he began circling her as he said “Because I know my legal ways around things”.

Alex placed his hands on her waist as Valeria froze up, she didn’t even move. All Alex said was “Still the pretty thing you were when I saw you in the news”. Not once in her lifetime she had some person call her pretty, they all feared her. But for Alex to say it without fearing her all she said was “You’re just trying to save your life”.

Alex chuckled and he replied “Nah, I loved reading your profile”. As he ran his hands along her waist feeling her up on purpose trying to test her. As he then came close to her neck, and all he said was “Tell me Valeria, about Los Almas specifically”. Valeria sighed and said “It was supposed to be a small operation that led to the boss’s son’s arrest”. 

However Alex then grasped her breasts through her bra which her breath just hitched. And Alex asked “I meant what you know so far recently”. Valeria replied “They’re smuggling weapons, that's what I know about Makarov”. As she sighed in defeat, this was too much pressure and him touching her was causing her to weaken.

However once Alex got what he wanted, he didn't stop squeezing her body. And Valeria said “You got what you want, why are you still”. Alex said “Because Valeria, I want you to know who’s in charge and who’s the prisoner”. Valeria gulped at that, again protest wasn’t much an option because she was enjoying this too much.

Even though it was an attack on her unbreakable character. However Alex said “Y’know Valeria” as he went and undone her bra now. He removed it and all Valeria did was stand there and allow it to happen. Despite what she originally once was, the most feared cartel boss and now she was letting some soldier feel her up.

Meanwhile Alex said “Such a pretty latina, all vulnerable in a prison cell”. He added “If I have any guess, you back talked to me cause you wanted this”. Valeria remained quiet, she wasn’t gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. However at the same time, it didn’t help that her body was easing into his touching.

However he stopped and he then said “Get yourself dressed. I’m done here”. And he left with the chair, leaving her alone and half-naked. Valeria sighed to herself and she got dressed but now that memory ain’t gonna leave her. Especially how the newbie easily got her to do whatever he wanted by just telling her to.

She didn’t realize that him making her do these actions also caused her to be vulnerable. It was sort of a small psychological technique that Alex learned. When he went through SERE because the enemy interrogators used a similar tactic. Just not as far as Alex had gone but certainly forcing the person to do certain tactics indeed.

However this left a very permanent impression on her. The one guy who managed to break her character led her to being all submissive. It definitely changed her now whenever she sees him, she’s instinctively gonna be submissive. It was sorta a win for Alex in the long-run, especially once missions began getting intense.

Yet for Valeria, she had no idea that this would be the first to many encounters. Especially with Alex being the interrogator, her power was about to be questioned. And how much of a resistance would she be able to hold against him. For Valeria, her life was about to reach a standstill where she’ll have to decide on what she wants.

And most importantly, how the actions of Alex are gonna change her view. Because right now, she certainly has an actual thought of him.

Chapter Text

Alex was sitting on his bed and he was cleaning his rifle, making sure it was ready for next action. He was thinking of the moment with Valeria, he just smirked to himself. He reminded himself that regardless of what happened, he was in charge of her oversight which was perfect to him. However he decided to go pay her a visit once again, since that one encounter. As he made his own way across the tarmac to her unit. 

He approached the exterior where some of the Mexican Special Forces stood outside guarding. They let him through, and he went to her cell. Only to find her gone, he went to one of the guards. The guard outside stated “Missed her, they took her to showers”. Alex Nodded although that didn't stop him either, and he went and got into the ATV and said “Thanks for the update”. It was like this was just helping him.

Once he arrived at the area, he approached the building as some of the soldiers stood. One said “Hey can't let you go in there, Alejandro's orders”. Alex looked at them rather intimidatingly, to which the soldiers said “Okay you can go”. As Alex nodded and walked into the building now, the guard said “Christ, he's scarier than that guy with the skull mask”. Valeria was in the process of taking a shower, she was looking at all of her tattoos now from the cartel days.

She was only interrupted when she heard movement in the stall next to hers now. She questioned who in their mind was in the showers along her, but that was answered when she heard a familiar whistle. Alex was whistling an Irish rebellion song, while he's taking a shower which it was like he's pushing It all. She didn't know what to say or do now at this moment, she already knew that he was there for her. 

It's obviously not some coincidence, she just didn't know why he'd push it this far just for her. But what had happened next surprised her entirely, he began listening to narco rap, which threw her off. It's the same music she was used to listening to during her time in the cartel, and here he was listening to it. As much of an unexpected coincidence this was, it was the music that surprised her entirely. 

All Valeria said was “¿Te gusta el rap de los narcotraficantes? No sabía que a los irlandeses les gustara la música de los cárteles”. Alex, who has been learning a bit of Spanish due to Alejandro and his second in command, replied “Aye, Mamacita”. The last part was more of his way of flirting with her, besides it wouldn't be the first time she's been called that. Valeria only asked “Why Narco Rap out of all music?” She added “Makes it seem like you're into the lifestyle” only for Alex to reply “The musics pretty good”.

He added “we Irish did a lot during The Troubles to protest the crown. We ain't no different”. As they continued to converse about their similarities, or well their similar taste in music. During this process, Alex stopped taking a shower although he went to hers and he came up behind her. This surprised Valeria but before she could do anything, Alex's hand lifted her thigh up giving him easy access to her. He smirked slightly as his other hand rubbed his fingers against her pussy now, Valeria only bit her lip.

He continued rubbing her before he slipped his fingers in her that caused her to make a small noise. Valeria blushed due to the fact she made a whimper, let alone for a guy like Alex, this embarrassed her. Alex held her close to him as he fingered her slowly, only to pick up in the speed of his fingers. This was hard for Valeria to remain quiet, and yet during all of this none of the soldiers outside dared to interrupt them. As Alex continued his relentless activities with her, he truly was a beast most imaginable.

At least for a woman like Valeria to have an interest in it because unlike most of her soldiers, who listens to her, especially a guy like Diego. Alex on the other hand, he took what he wanted and he doesn't care how he'll do it and right now, this is what he wanted, her. Him being his aggressive self was quite exciting for her, and it was hard for her to hide her excitement.

As their moment continued, they were only interrupted when one of the soldiers called out “Valeria, your times up”. Alex groaned silently, before he looked at Valeria, he stated “I'm not done with you… brat" as he grinned a bit. He smacked her ass before he went to his own area leaving her alone now, also leaving her pent up and quite sensitive. He was now testing how long she would last with his actions, at least until she was needing him.

Chapter Text

After the whole moment that afternoon, Alex was standing with the rest of 141 now. Laswell was loading some information regarding a safe house, it was located in the southwest region of Russia. It looked like an ideal location where Makarov was operating from, this would give them a step up finding him. As they were discussing the situation, Alex stated “What's the opposition count we're looking at?”.

Laswell replied “Lots of armed personnel, we're looking at five thousand in the proximity”. And Alex asked “Armored Vehicles? APCs?” Laswell stated “Most likely, this seems like a Hotspot of activity”. Price nodded as he said “Makarov may be there” although Ghost added “Or someone close to him”. However there was a call coming in on her laptop, she then answered only for Farah to say “Price we got information”. Soap then asked “How'd you manage that one?” As Graves walked into sight “Hello Mactavish”.

Ghost said “You're supposed to be dead” as Graves replied “remote controlled tank”. And Price added “What's the intel on Makarov, Graves” as Graves replied “There's a meeting going on, an ally of his there”. As the task force looked at each other, Graves added “He's got connections to Farah's Resistance”. This alone piqued the task forces interest, because it wasn't Valeria because she was aiding Al-Qatala. Yet this foe is connected to Farah's Resistance in one way, this was a confusing situation for them.

Price nodded “Right, 141 we're wheels up at 22:40” as the group dispersed to their area now. Alex went to his area and he sat down on his cow. He grabbed his magazines and he began loading them, he wanted to make sure they were all loaded beforehand. Later that night, Nikolai had an C-130 ready in a heartbeat and 141 was loading up into the carrier. They were planning to do a HALO jump into the hot zone, it would also make it easier to land in the region.

As the C-130 flew off, Alex was sitting from the rest of them like he was more focused on himself. Most of 141 were watching him, Soap said the price “He's sorta lost it price, he's just staring off into nothing”. Ghost however said “He ain't, he's going through the same demons that I have, he's just living”. Ghost then got up and went over to Alex now before he said “Dealing with hell in your head I see that”. Alex chuckled as he said “I just gotta deal with that and this one thing, someone who caused me to be this way”.

Ghost nodded and he said “Troubles messing with your mind, I see the problem”. Alex was thinking before he said “Yeah, I had to deal with… well yall put me in charge of watching over the prisoner”. Ghost chuckled before he said “Yeah, I get it” although as they continued to fly across the ocean. Few hours later and they were flying over Russia, Nikolai called out “Price we're over the drop zone” as he opened the back.

Price nodded and said “141, Ready up for HALO Jump” although as they readied to jump now. Alex however remained on his own, because once he was ready, he didn't wait for the others and he jumped out. Ghost was not expecting that to happen, it threw them all off guard yet they shortly followed behind him. They hoped that he wouldn't be captured by the time they landed, out of all of them, Ghost wasn't worried. As if Ghost knew that Alex could hold himself together.

Yet to the enemy, the devils incarnate just awaits them and they have no idea what's about to happen.

As the task force landed, they were moving quickly to find Alex but most importantly, find their target. As they approached a guard shack, they found it to be a mess like someone just went through there. And they found one of the soldiers, blood eagled and this honestly disturbed 141 except, Ghost. As Ghost said “He's leaving his own signature to place fear” yet Soap replied “He's fucking sick, This is too far”.

Ghost, however, argued “This is nothing compared to my actual work”. This resulted in the task force looking at him out of concern now, all Ghost stated “He's a man on a mission, like me”. And the task force continued to follow his path, yet in the process they'd see all of the handiwork that he's done with the enemies. Ghost however was all impressed yet at the same unimpressed due to it being sloppy.

As they continued to head towards the target building, it seemed like things were heating up. As they approached, they heard gunfire and they moved quickly before Alex did something regrettable. As they neared the target room, they heard commotion Inside of the room, Arabic voices. Soon an explosion followed and they moved quickly to secure the room, only to find Alex holding the target now.

Hadir was looking at Price specifically, he said “Hello my old friend from the western world”. Price replied “Hadir Karim, why am I not surprised to know you were aiding Makarov”. Hadir replied “Where there's a bargon to be made, there's always a bidder to buy the upper hand, who gave you the info on me”. Yet Price remained quiet although Hadir stated “Ah I see, my own sister ratted me out”. 

Soap however said “You better start Talking or else” and yet Hadir chuckled at him. All Hadir told him was “Your task force doesn't scare me, I am used to interrogation, this won't work”. Ghost stated “Talk or else, I will personally get you to speak” and Hadir replied “Fuck off Skeleton boy”. Alex grabbed his own tomahawk, as he held it against Hadirs chest and asked “You gonna talk or am I gonna have to cut”. Hadir however would rather die than to tell anyone about what Makarov is about to do.

Alex only looked at the rest of them before he looked at Hadir and said “Yea well, we'll get you to talk”. As he grabbed him and they made their way out of the safehouse and to the exfil site. Although on their way, they ended up hiding as a convoy moved through heading to the safe house. Armored Vehicles of all sorts, like some sort of protection detail for Hadirs extraction from the safe house.

They moved as soon as the convoy passed them, they knew that it wouldn't be long until then. But for 141, Alex rigged the house to blow up, ensuring that their tracks were covered and secured. They ended up in a village when they heard a siren go off, the safe house alarm was going off. Yet by a minute of it ringing, a massive explosion was heard throughout and the safe house was entirely engulfed in flames.

Later at the exfil site, they all stood together discussing their next action of course with their new friend. Yet as they discussed, two Russian Mi-Hinds flew over the exfil site on patrol searching for them. When they saw the helicopters, they all went to hide yet it was two late as the two helicopters returned. Only for rope to drop from the helicopter and soldiers began repelling. Most of the Task force opened fire upon the soldiers, yet the firefight attracted attention of nearby units.

Within an hour, an entire company had shown up to take Hadir back with Armored support. And yet 141 somehow managed to survive their assault, only for them to have red flares land around them. The task force immediately took cover, in whatever improved trench/fox Hole they had. 82mm Mortars began falling around them, trying to weaken their morale and yet it failed, as the next assault wave happened.

As the firefight continued, they were saved when an old friend of Captain Price showed up. Sergeant Kamarov came to their rescue, an old loyalist ally that figured that they could use the help, again. The Ultra nationalists ended up retreating after a bit, and at this time the 160th SOAR came to exfil their unit. As they were flying out of the hot zone, Alex watched Hadir very closely and he sharpened his axe. He just thought of the things that he'd do when he got back, he also knew that he had to deal with Valeria.

Chapter Text

On their return to their base of operations, Alex walked their new prisoner off the helicopter. Where Alejandro and Rodolfo awaited them, only for him to say “Alex, we need to discuss some things”. Alex said “What do we need to discuss?” which Alejandro replied “In private between me and you”. The task force looked at him, and he said “Okay, Ghost take hadir to his cell” and he gave their new prisoner over to Ghost.

Alex walked with Alejandro and Rodolfo, as they went towards one of the buildings. Alejandro said “Some of my personnel told me of your… techniques, you use on Valeria to get her to talk”. Alex replied “It's just a technique, besides breaking a woman down by her insecurities and exhibition, it's psychological”. Which caused Alejandro to ask “You weren't Rangers were you?” And Alex replied “It's classified”.

Although as he walked away, he then said “Rangers was our unit cover up assignment”. Which shed some light upon Alex's actual backstory, yet he still didn't disclose on what unit he was actually a part of. Nor would he because his unit was entirely classified, not even Laswell knew of his unit. Yet if you thought he was Shadow company, you are wrong as this unit despises Shepherd's private military. Claiming it was like the Waffen SS of the United States Army, meanwhile as he continued to walk, he thought of his unit. 

Years ago, on November 23rd, 2017 there was a raid on a high valued target in the middle east, his name was Zakariyya Baghdadi. Delta Force had a joint operation with a covert Unit codenamed Valkyrie, the helicopter was flying to a compound in. Alex was sitting with his team as he was checking his magazines. This was to ensure that he had enough magazines to get through the mission. One of the operatives from Delta only asked “So what is the story behind you now huh, your whole unit?”.

Alex replied “Classified, Our Unit is beyond your comprehension”. Yet the same Operative then snarky said “Classified? Our Unit has enough security clearance”. Although Alex remarked with “Okay, My story consists of me fucking your sister in your bed”. He didn’t have to tell some Delta Operative, the story regarding his unit that he was in. Yet one of the officers in his unit said “Vidar, stand down”. All Alex replied “Whatever you say, Njord” which the Delta Operative said “Using Norse Gods as Callsigns?”.

The unit remained quiet, before the Operative then asked “Why, ain’t that like some sort of mockery towards your gods?”. Yet the Officer within Valkyrie replied “Our fame will be established in the halls of Asgard and Valhalla, for our actions in combat”. Implying that regardless of their callsigns, their combat will gain them sanction. As they neared the LZ for their rappel, Valkyrie got ready immediately.

The Helicopter began hovering, which the first few personnel of Valkyrie in the first helicopter repelled, meanwhile the second helicopter, the others repelled. As they linked up, without any further waiting they moved, leaving Delta on their own. Valkyrie was not going to be waiting around for Delta to rappel, so they abandoned them. And besides they had a mission, and they were going to complete the mission.

As their unit began eliminating the exterior patrols and guard posts, they were leaving a clean and fast pathway through their approach to the compound. Yet Delta was primarily moving for the compound alone, they were mainly for Baghdadi, that was it. Valkyrie wanted to eliminate all traces regarding Baghdadi, including possible top-leaders. As they figured that once they removed the top, someone else would bite back.

Valkyrie Unit had approached the compound to reconnect with Delta Force, which one of the Operatives said “You’re behind us”. The Officer from Valkyrie replied “had to make sure none of the exterior patrols and posts would come running”. As Valkyrie took their own position, once they breached the building, they moved fast. Both Units approached the main quarters for the Baghdadi, and in a blink of an instant they breached.

Both Delta and Valkyrie cleared the unit only to find Baghdadi and his family, which the Delta Operatives were not expecting this to happen. They were thinking that he’d be on his own on the compound because now they had to kill the father in front of the kids. Valkyrie on the other hand, shot the entire family regardless. Right in front of Delta Force, they watched them shoot the children, without any hesitation.

One of the officers in Delta stated “You just shot the fucking kids” yet Valkyrie just walked out not even listening to them either now. As the Operatives from Delta came after them, Valkyrie had looked at them now, as it seemed like they didn’t want to hear it. Meanwhile, as the Unit was discussing their debrief. Some of the operatives from Delta decided to take matters into their own hands and they tried to fight with Valkyrie. 

A fight that Delta did not win, and Valkyrie left them with minor injuries because they chose to leave them unharmed or unwounded. This was just a matter of them being generous to Delta, if they wanted to erase Delta’s existence, they would. Meanwhile fast forward in October of 2019, there was a hearing to discuss Valkyrie. It was one of the largest meetings between the House and the Joint Chief of Staff.

During this meeting, one of the questions came up during the discussion on the purpose of why Valkyrie was created when they had units like Delta Force. The Simplistic Response from the United States Army, the creation of Valkyrie was necessary. To quote the words “Perform certain tasks that would define breaking numerous rules when necessary”. It primarily was created for certain blackbook operations.

Especially when units like Delta Force or hell even the Navy Seals refuse to go on such missions and that says a lot, Valkyrie is like the suicide unit. In 2022, Valkyrie performed the most unimaginable operation, the Infiltration of a secret North Korean facility. This would be known as the Kaesong Raid. Which also led to the discovery of Facility 28B, the facility that researches in bio and chemical warfare.

It was also the raid that also started a series of investigations on North Korea, let alone the discovery of other units such as the infamous work camps. Valkyrie’s part would put them into history as one of the most risk-taking units in American history. Most of this operation was a success, except for when it came to their exfil. Which led to a firefight, however Valkyrie still managed to flee across the 38th Parallel.

Yet accusations by North Korea to the United States occurred yet due to no identifying patches or markings for the Valkyrie Unit, all accusations were denied. It remained as one of the most bizarre stunt operations done by the Army in the modern day. And that ends up to the present day, where Alex stood crossed his arms now. All he said was “Valkyrie was a unit that in a way was beyond anyone’s knowledge, we were clandestine”.

Alejandro stated “So you were literally some black book operation unit that remained unmarked to prevent any sort of retaliation or so?”. Alex nodded before he said “And it worked, Valkyrie works in all environments, all terrains, all year round”. Rodolfo asked “Where is Valkyrie even stationed at? Clearly you guys would have a base?”. Alex chuckled before he said “Where we had a base? Yeah, Norway in the Arctic Cap”.

He smirked before he added “Valkyrie is practically one of those units that doesn’t exist, it’s like folklore, sorta like the Men in Black, or something like that”. Alejandro nodded before he said “Right makes sense, some sort of clandestine work thing?”. Alex chuckled as he continued to walk “Aye, we’re trained in all means of interrogation”. Before he turned around to the two and said “So yes, I do use my training on Valeria”.

And Alex would walk out of the empty hangar leaving the two to reconsider their thoughts and discuss their next move now, knowing Alex’s background.

Chapter Text

In the wake of their next mission, Alex was sitting on his bunk as he was sharpening his battle axe, an old weapon from his days within Valkyrie. When he heard both Price and Ghost discussing something, he got up and walked near the conversation. He heard Price say “I found out from Laswell about Alex’s true origin”. Price added “he’s from some unit called Valkyrie?” only for Ghost to reply “He’s Valkyrie?” out of curiosity.

Price nodded and Ghost walked and he said “the previous unit I was in, we knew a lot of things but even Valkyrie was out of our unit’s clearance, something about Valkyrie”. It seemed like the two were questioning Alex's unit’s origin. However Alex decided to interrupt them by pulling one of the fire-alarms to keep them from discussing it. He did not need more people becoming curious about his past unit.

All in the wake of this, he decided that he needed to cool off now. And he went to visit his favorite inmate now, which he made his way through the guardroom. As he then entered the cell but she was gone, only for Valeria to come down from the ceiling. She jumped onto his front trying to make him fumble backwards but Alex instead held her up. He dropped her onto her own bunk, which he said “Clever, you’re learning quick”.

He added “In no term, you should make a great addition to our unit” and he walked out, only to hear Valeria reply “Yea well I won’t join… wait did you say our unit”. He left it at that and he wanted her to figure it all out on her own. At this point, she personally thought he was honestly kinda crazy and psychotic to be special forces. All the more wild when she thought of how beneficial he’d be as her own personal interrogator.

At that point her own cartel would be the most feared criminal organization in the whole world by utilizing Alex to do her very own dirty work. It honestly gave her some sort of excitement rush knowing her enemies would fall due to him. Valeria replied “Okay, you might’ve actually been quite worth the while actually”. Although she was primarily faking her attention to him, trying to get him to play the cards for her.

Alex chuckled as he went back to the rest of the Task Force. After his small encounter with Valeria, the next mission wasn’t too subtle either. Price said “So we have one shot at capturing Makarov but there’s a dilemma”. Alex said “Do I really want to know this dilemma?” and Price stated “He’s trading Valeria for himself”. Both Alex and Soap said in Unison “Why do I have a feeling that this is a trap”.

The two obviously knew that something was off about this whole deal. Which even Ghost was giving Price some looks when he mentioned the trade. Ghost stated “This is obviously his way of trying to eliminate us entirely”. Price stated “Alejandro and his special forces have an arranged location for us, they’ll be watching over”. Soap stated “And you think they can put up a fight against his private military?”.

Alex walked out to catch a breather which he said “This is some fucking bullshit”. And he leaned against the wall. He knew something was up obviously now. Now personally, he’s spent months researching Makarov alone. He knows that Makarov will not trade himself for some former cartel boss. That would be a redundant trade if anything. Alex on the other hand, he knew this was a trap.

He then went to walk now, cause he needed a breather. But as he walked, helicopters were heard approaching which he thought was odd. Until explosions started happening, these helicopters were firing rockets onto the base. All of the helicopters were Russian, Konni was launching an offensive on them. Someone must’ve talked to Makarov if anything. Alex quickly made his way over to Valeria’s holding building.

He saw two of the soldiers dead, which he had to move quickly. And when he entered the building, he heard Russian voices discussing something. He peaked and he saw four Russians trying to get the door open. However the door wouldn’t budge for them. In fact, the door remained sealed. It was like Alejandro planned in case of this happening. Alex, however, quickly moved and took out the four with ease.

Once he had the room cleared, he went and opened the cell now. But when he did so, a man placed a gun to his head, and Makarov appeared. Makarov stated “Bravo, It seems like the old Valkyrian led me to my target”. However Alex remained still, thinking. He was trying to figure out a way to eliminate them. But Makarov said “Amazing how much a man can do for someone he doesn’t know”. 

Makarov told his soldiers, two of them went in and dragged Valeria out. Yet Makarov remained and stared Alex into his eyes. Like Makarov wanted to intimidate him. Alex however didn’t break, he stayed strong regardless. Alex said “If you think that is going to intimidate me, it isn’t necessarily going to work”. Makarov chuckled and said “Oh I know that won’t intimidate you but this will”.

Makarov then placed a syringe right next to Valeria’s neck. Alex watched him closely now, which Makarov stated “Ever heard of Nova Six”. Alex remained quiet as he mentally recalled it. Only in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he heard of the virus. A Bio-weapon in the works by ISIS and Al-Qaeda to eliminate NATO Forces. Yet now here Makarov was, threatening to inject it into Valeria.

Makarov then said “Don’t bother trying to find us, Irish boy”. He added “I’ll kill her if you even dare to follow us at all”. Konni and Makarov left with Valeria. However Alex knew that he was going to kill every single Konni operative he saw. Minutes later, Price then came into the cell-room only to find him. Price stated “Where the hell is she”. Alex replied “Makarov got her, they came onto me”.

Of course Soap said “Great now you just let her go join Makarov”. However, Ghost just asked “What did Makarov say exactly?”. Alex replied “He said not to follow them, or else he’ll give Valeria, an injection of Nova Six”. The entire room had gone quiet. Laswell came over on the comms “Did he just say, Nova Six”. Price replied “Makarov’s got Bioweapons, Soviet era bioweapons”.

However Alex replied “There’s a man I know in Northern China, that has encountered the Weapon and knows ways to eliminate them”. He added “We called him, The Wolf”.

Chapter Text

In Northern China, Task Force 141 was moving through some alleyways. When they stopped outside of a warehouse. Alex then beat on the metal door, waiting. Some guy answered and said “What’s the password” in Russian. Alex replied “Воркута пала” which means Vorkuta has fallen. The man opened the door for them, and they entered. Though as they approached a large gym area.

A man was working out, covered in scars from the war. And the man turned around and said “Alex, what a surprise to see you here”. Alex chuckled slightly at the man now. As he stated, “Captain Price, meet Viktor Reznov”. Captain Price stated “Viktor Reznov? Wasn’t that guy killed during the Vorkuta Uprise”. Alex replied “Cover-up, Valkyrie took him in”. It meant that Reznov never died after Vorkuta.

Soap Replied “So this Reznov guy, has he got experience with Nova Six”. Once Soap said that, Reznov dropped the barbell after hearing that. Reznov stated “Nova Six? I lost my own friend due to that damn bio-weapon”. Alex replied “Reznov, the world is in danger, a man named Vladimir Makarov has the weapon”. Reznov went quiet and asked “The Russian Terrorist? If so, you guys have to move fast”.

Soap replied “Alex said you know how to handle the weapon”. Reznov sighed briefly and said “Friend, I have been through hell and back”. He added “Valkyrie remains alive due to this elixir of life that they’ve created”. Alex stated “Reznov, that’s classified”. Price said “Wait wait wait, Elixir of life? You’re telling me that Valkyrie”. Alex sighed and said “Yeah, some of us in Valkyrie are over a hundred years old”.

Alex walked to Reznov, and he looked at Price and them. He said “Valkyrie, it was originally designed to be the unit above Delta Force”. He added “Blackbook, Clandestine Operations, stuff that nobody wants to talk about or know about”. Reznov nodded and said “I remember coming across Valkyrie after my escape from Vorkuta”. He added “Their personnel surrounded me after Mason jumped the train”.

However there was a noise, and more people came into the room. Which they were from Alex’s old unit, as one of them said “Vidar”. Alex replied “Nice seeing you again, Njord” and he walked over to his old commander. Njord asked “Who are these people?”. Alex answered “Task Force 141, we had to meet with the Wolf about Nova”. Once he said that, Njord looked at Alex concerned now.

Njord said “Nova Six is back?” and Alex replied “Makarov has the weapon”. However, Valkyrie then went to grab some equipment. Njord said “Well, sorry 141, this task is now under our operations, so go back to playing dress-up”. Of course Ghost argued “Makarov was in our eyes before you even knew about him”. Njord replied “No, Simon.. We’ve always known about Makarov, he just was too-little of an issue for us”.

The fact that Njord knew Ghost’s actual identity beyond that mask. Price stated “We’ll be the ones to get to Makarov first”. Njord chuckled slightly at the boldness. Njord replied “Listen, John… it’s time to let the real men do the work”. He added “It’s your fault that he got his hands on Nova Six, if anything”. Price argued “We blew up the Russians' only source of the weapon”.

However Alex stated “No, you only blew up one of several production plants”. He added “The other six were made underground”. Implying that the one that they attacked. It primarily was only a decoy to give the illusion. Yet Njord said “Vidar, you’re with us now, effective immediately”. Alex just went over to Njord now, of course Soap said “Traitor”. Yet, Njord replied “He ain’t a traitor, he was always Valkyrie”.

Alex nodded and said “Once Valkyrie, always Valkyrie”. He said “Anyways, we’d chat more but, Valkyrie’s gotta go save the world”. Then Njord threw down a smokebomb. It filled the entire room with a thick white smoke. Once it cleared, Valkyrie disappeared. And the Wolf was gone himself, leaving them all alone. Except there was a big ol’ message. It was spray-painted on the wall, and it said ‘Ha ha ha’.

Later, 141 was at some safehouse that Nikolai had just for them. They were debriefing the whole situation regarding Alex ditching 141. Of course, Laswell told them that they should’ve seen it coming. Valkyrie was above their own authority if anything. So Alex leaving them to return to his unit is normal. However, that wasn’t the point. Price thought it was just him betraying the task force as a whole.

Meanwhile in central Russia, Valkyrie was at their field camp. They were hiding in the Siberian Parts of Russia, perfectly ideal. No one would exactly be looking there. Due to the fact that the entire environment is hostile. Yet despite this, Valkyrie operated there. And with only receiving periodic resupplyment from Norway. Alex was sitting, as he was cutting some meat into pieces, they killed some deer earlier.

Njord came back with another soldier from their reconnaissance. He said “Alright Valkyrie, heads up, we saw a massive military convoy”. Which Alex looked up briefly now. Like obviously this wasn’t the loyalist’s. Makarov and his Ultranationalists were moving. They were moving to an underground complex they built. They also were moving their important inmates to this complex as well.

Valeria was also being moved in this very same convoy. However, despite the Russians trying to intimidate her, even Makarov. Valeria never broke a single bit. Yet she was wondering if someone was even gonna try and get her out. At the encampment, Njord said “They’re moving to an old soviet-era facility”. Which at first it thought like it’d be easy. An old run-down bunker that would be easy to break through.

However the facility was not run-down and it was in great condition. And Makarov was utilizing this place for his new base of operations. Because this facility was more secure than the last base of operations, he had. Njord said “We’ll need a man to go undercover into this facility however, to sabotage the facility”. Then he added “Vidar, will be the one chosen to infiltrate the Russian Base”.

Alex replied “They already know what I look like? They’ve seen me back in 141”. Yet Njord stated “Yeah but they don’t realize you’re Valkyrie”. Konni feared Valkyrie more than they feared Ghost. Because Ghost would kill you regardless. Valkyrie, wanted to ensure the maximum of torture was inflicted. Death was never allowed to their enemies. If anything, the greatest thing they can do is blood-eagle someone.

Yet now, they were sending Alex into their main base of operations. Meaning that if anything went wrong, Valkyrie couldn't easily save him.

Chapter Text

Бастион Красная Звезда, Headquarters for the Ultranationalist Movement. Alex was in the back of a Soviet-era UAZ-469. He wore a Konni Uniform, blending in easily. Yet as they approached the main gate, there was heavy activity. A lot of Russian soldiers discussing stuff, various guard-posts and much activity. Yet here he was, he was about to infiltrate the most active military base in his life.

Once the truck stopped, a soldier walked up to the driver. During the two talking, two soldiers walked along the vehicle, looking into it. They were trying to see if there weren’t anything being smuggled in or hidden people. They weren’t asking for the soldiers identification, because they knew who was who. Except Alex stood out. But the soldiers assumed that it was just a new guy they hadn't seen.

The soldiers allowed the vehicle to enter the main-base. While they drove past soldiers in formation, various other armored vehicles moved. As they drove into the mountain where the facility was built. The road itself felt like it was either three miles long. But they eventually pulled into a larger array. And of course, on their right was the large blast door that remained open just for them.

The two soldiers and Alex got out and walked together. The closer they got, the more intense things got for him because it was quite active. Inside the facility, it was marvelous, at least in quality of construction. The Soviets obviously had a taste for the theme. Yet this wasn’t an ordinary military bunker. This is the bunker where the KGB, and the Government would’ve fled to if the Cold War had gone nuclear.

And here is Alex walking straight into the heart of their whole operation. They approached a desk where a man stood, discussing with some people. The guy turned around and said “Ah finally, the guards from Section IV returned”. The guy added “Tell me, what was the weather like out there”. Like it was some sort of test that the guy was giving them. Yet Alex’s cold stare at the dude made him back off.

One of the guards that he was with said “Thank god you got him to shut up”. He added “He always asks the same questions over and over”. Alex nodded as he continued to walk before he said “We’re underground, ain’t nothing special”. However as he continued to walk, he walked by the detainment cells. And he saw Valeria walking around in the cell, he thought to himself “Found the Priority Target”.

Yet as they continued to walk, they were heading somewhere important. Because all of the security was intense if anything. Once he made it through some more blast doors. He found himself in a control-center, with locations across the globe. Yet a noise came out, and Makarov walked into the room with people. Makarov said “Gentlemen, we’re on the brink of dominating the world entirely”.

Makarov added “Nova Six have been placed strategically across each major city in western countries awaiting detonation”. It was clear, Makarov was sending a message. A full-on chemical attack against western nations. Yet something was off entirely. Then he said “But in order to experience the true effects of Nova Six”. Which two guards brought Valeria in now, not far from Alex’s position now.

Makarov stated “We’ll use a live test dummy and show you all what it does”. He added “Besides, she’s not worthy to live much longer”. Alex on the other hand, thought otherwise to what Makarov was going to do. Makarov gave the signal. And one of the Konni soldiers went to open a gas chamber up. Publicly, Makarov was going to execute Valeria. Just for show on what Nova Six does to a person.

Yet Alex on the other-hand thought otherwise. He threw an axe at the guy's head, then pulled his rifle and quickly shot several people. With his pin-point accuracy, he was killing soldiers quickly and the alarm in the base went off. Meanwhile far away at the Valkyrie encampment, they heard the base alarm. Though they didn’t act upon it now. They decided it was best to pack up and move now.

Besides, they knew that Vidar wouldn’t last a single bit in the base. It was practically impossible to escape from a KGB Bunker filled with Konni. Yet inside the base, Vidar was clearing out the whole bunker within minutes. Valeria was assisting him. The two of them were making move progression across the entire facility. But they weren’t aiming for the main exit, each cold-war bunker had emergency exits.

These exits were hidden but they still remained due to the importance. Meanwhile, 141 was flying in with a helicopter. They saw the entire base on red-alert already. They assumed that Valkyrie was already there. But they didn’t realize it was just a one-man infiltration into the base either. As the task force rappelled into the base. They quickly made their way through the facility to find Makarov.

Yet once they entered the command room, they found the leftovers. Numerous guards died, few had axes in their heads. Pin-point precision with a lot of them. Yet, one signature item remained on the ground now. A golden necklace that only Valeria wore. Price said “Damn it, Alex has Valeria”. Laswell replied “Garza? What does Alex want with her?’. As Ghost answered “I’ve seen how he looks at her”.

Price replied “What you’ve always known this was going to happen?”. Ghost answered “Yeah, I foresaw it. I just thought you guys would’ve caught on”. Soap then asked “And why the hell would you not even stop him, Ghost”. Ghost replied “I ain’t messing with Valkyrie, If anything they’d make my level of combat look like child's play”. Laswell answered “Ghost is right, Valkyrie is designated for kill-only orders”.

Price replied “Oh thanks for the heads up Laswell”. Laswell replied “John, Valkyrie was formerly a CIA-Based Operation, But they became paramilitary”. Soap asked “When the hell did this happen exactly?” and Laswell replied “November 4th, 1979”. Which was the day that the Iranian Hostage Crisis occurred. And the day that Valkyrie became Paramilitary instead of intelligence.

Chapter Text

Deep in the snow-covered plains of central Siberia. Alex was taking Valeria somewhere, a Safehouse that he was familiar with. In case of an operation that went to shit or some other sort of fiascole. Valkyrie had safehouses across the world. Yet with darkness coming and the temperatures are dropping rapidly. His main focus was getting to the shelter and getting a fire started to keep themselves warm.

Once they made it to the safehouse, he walked into the cabin. He said “I know it ain’t much but, Valkyrie lives off of the grid a-lot of times”. Which he went to start the wood-stove, to ensure that the cabin warmed up quickly. Valeria asked “Why, why stick your head out, especially back there”. Alex chuckled and said “I’m fucking crazy remember”. He replied “I mean shit, you said it yourself that I am the devil incarnate”.

Although they remained within the confinement of the safehouse. The sound of ATV’s were heard approaching the safehouse now. Alex peaked out of a spy-hole. Two males got off of the ATV’s and they were talking. Yet one of them said “Laswell said here”. Then Ghost turned around as he looked at the Cabin. Alex muttered to himself “Fuck, they found me already, son of a bitch”.

However as the two approached the door, Alex went to greet them. Which, he opened the door and Ghost stood there with Soap. Which Alex stated “So.. You’ve found me”. Ghost looked at Alex briefly, yet he saw Valeria behind him. Only Ghost said “What a lovely surprise, a couple retreat into the arctic forests”. Laswell comes into the comms, as she said “Ghost give me a sitrep on the situation”.

Ghost answered “We found Alex, and he’s gotten himself cozy with someone”. And Laswell asked “Valeria?” which Ghost Replied “Affirmative”. Laswell stated “I hate stating this, however this is the least of our concerns”. She added “We need their help, Valkyrie’s gone rogue and their adding Makarov now”. Ghost responded “They’re doing what now?”. This was a surprise to Ghost hearing this news now.

Laswell replied “Tell Alex, that Asgard has fallen”. Ghost thought it was some weird ass code-phase now then Ghost looked at Alex. Alex asked “So what do you guys need”. And Ghost replied “Asgard has Fallen”. Alex remained quiet with a stare at the two. Before he then said “Get in” which he let Ghost and Soap into the room. Of course Valeria freaked out when she saw the two and hid into the corner.

However Alex said “They’re not gonna hurt you, we’re in a world of shit”. Of course Ghost still intimidated Valeria, even for a former cartel boss. However, Ghost was afraid of Alex, knowing the fact that he was Valkyrie. Well now Ex-Valkyrie at this point. Valeria didn’t trust it however, Alex assured her that it was fine. And besides if Ghost really wanted him dead, they would’ve had fighting right now.

In a brief moment, Alex was sitting on the bed thinking to himself. Only to be interrupted as Soap asked “What the hell is Asgard has fallen”. Alex responded “Asgard has fallen was a code-phrase used for when the Leadership went rogue”. He added “It was designed that if the unit went rogue, the one who didn’t, becomes Ragnarok”. Only then it was revealed, Alex was going to have to kill those in Valkyrie.

Alex then said “But me fighting Valkyrie on my own is suicide”. Ghost responded “Who says you’ll be fighting it on your own”. Around this time, Capt. Price showed up. Price walked into the Cabin, as he saw them all together. Price stated “Lovely”. Only then did Garrick come into the room with a tactical laptop. And Laswell came onto the comms, while Valeria still sat alone away from them.

Laswell replied “Right, now seeing that everyone is together again”. She added “Also hello Valeria, first time meeting you”. Price asked “So what’s going on now, about Valkyrie”. As Alex answered “Quite simple, they’ve gone rogue”. He added “Somehow Makarov was able to convince them to join his side in this battle”. Laswell nodded and said “Alex is really your guy's only chance at stopping Makarov”.

Yet at this very same time, Alejandro and Rodolfo came into the cabin. Valeria glared at the two specifically now. The room’s tension had tensed up quite a bit. Yet Laswell replied “Alejandro and Rodolfo are going to aid you guys against Makarov”. Alex responded “Well I am not going to put Valeria at risk, besides they know my weakness”. Alejandro chuckled and said “guy lets a woman become his weakness”.

Yet Farah came into the call and said “Send her here to me and Laswell”. Price asked “Farah? You’re hiding her out?” and Farah nodded. Farah replied “Since they designated us as a Terrorist Organization, most of us took the Mujahideen tactic”. Laswell added in “We can get Nikolai to get her to us in a brief time”. Which Alex nodded a bit. Yet he took his handgun out, the one that his own father gave him.

It was an engraved Colt M1911, all engraved to his own taste. He gave it to Valeria, he said “Only use this when necessary”. Of course 141 was tensed up at this now. Because they thought that Valeria would kill them all. Valeria went and slid the gun into her pants and she replied in her lingo “No necesitaré usarlo mientras nadie me dé problemas”. As 141 walked out of the cabin now.

It was the matter of what was going to happen next for them.

Chapter Text

It was only two weeks later when 141 had got tipped on Makarov’s location. As they were going through the forests of Russia once more. They met up with one of Price’s old friends, Kamarov, who was waiting for them. Kamarov stated “Good to see you here, Capt. Price” and Price replied “What’s the situation going on Kamarov”. And Kamarov stated “You’ll have to see for yourself guys”.

Soon as they went over the ridge, they looked down as the plains. There were several ICBM launchers that were being converted. All of it were to be made to carry Nova Six in the form of a MIRV Warhead. Alex was taking photos of the whole operation. Ghost stated “Why take photos of this?” and Alex replied “Evidence”. He added “If I’m gonna be going against Valkyrie, I am going to need a reason to defend my ass”.

Kamarov stated “I have a Regiment of Loyalists ready to attack”. Alex asked “You see Valkyrie down there at all or anyone that stands out”. Kamarov replied “now that you mention it, I saw this big dude with Makarov”. Alex said “Njord… Ghost you're with me”. As he then made his own way, which Ghost followed. However Price said “At least he chose the right one for the job, I’ve seen how Njord fights”.

Meanwhile as Ghost and Alex were making their way through. Ghost asked “Why even take me, I don’t stand a chance against these pricks”. Alex replied “I know that if something went wrong, you’d get my ass out of there alive”. He added “I’ve always trusted you Simon, so don’t betray that trust now”. And as they walked through the village. They heard movement approaching them, which Alex gave the signal.

Once they hid, Njord was walking with some Russians. When Njord said “Vidar was here, I can feel his presence lingering around here”. With an instant, Njord threw a knife at Alex, yet only missed. Alex remained hidden, until Njord came closer and grabbed his knife. It seemed like Njord mumbled something. Njord didn’t realize that Alex was closer than he thought, until Alex came out and sliced his throat open.

Ghost quickly threw daggers at the Russians that were with Njord. It seemed too easy for them to kill Njord, way too easy than it should’ve been. Alex went and removed the mask, and it turned out it was a decoy. Some Russian was sent out to pretend to be Njord. As Alex said “Course it was too fucking easy”. And he grabbed his radio and said “Be at large, Njord is still out there, it was a decoy they sent”.

Both him and Ghost hid the bodies and then they continued. They had to sabotage the missile launchers, where they’d blow up mid-flight. Though as they continued their approach to the main missile launchers. Two F-22 Raptors flew over dropping payloads onto the Launchers causing them to blow up. Ghost and Alex took cover, and quickly placed on their gas-masks. Gas-masks that Alex made specifically.

Nova Six filled the entire village, which Alex said “141 Mask Up upon their entry, American fighters just attacked the missiles”. Price replied “Seems like Shepherd’s aware of it”. Soap asked “You think the Americans are gonna stop Makarov”. Alex answered “We did it with Saddam Hussein, Invaded Iraq for supposed WMD, all we found was Chlorine”. He added “We should’ve never invaded Iraq honestly”.

Although as they continued to walk through the village. They watched the Russians just suffer from the Nova Six. Alex said “You know I never wished this sort of fate”. He added “Nova Six is a horrible way to die”. Ghost replied “War is sometimes brutal”. Alex stated “Yeah, well at least this will be easy to do”. Meanwhile, as 141 was moving through the village, Price saw a tall dude running.

This guy was heading in the direction of where Ghost and Alex were. Price said over the comms “Alex, you got some tall dude running towards you”. Alex replied “Njord’s coming this way, he’s wanting to have a fight”. Price stated “We’ll come help you”. However Alex stated “No, it has to be me who fights him alone”. He added “It is the only way to gain retribution for Asgard alone”.

Which then out of nowhere some guy called out “Þú hefir valit at deyja hér, Víðarr”. Alex then looked at Ghost and gave him a nod. Which Ghost then left Alex to reconnect with 141, now it stood Alex and Njord. Alex replied “ek em eigi lengr Víðarr, ek em Ragnarǫk, hreinsari valkyrju í heild”. Both Njord and Alex were speaking old norse. Alex took out his battle axe now, which he stated “You betrayed Asgard”.

Njord replied “I haven’t betrayed Asgard, You betrayed Asgard entirely”. Alex argued “I disagree with you, Njord, In fact, I’ve been keeping tabs”. Njord charged at Alex, Alex dodged out of the way and slashed Njord with his axe. Njord stated “You will die here as everyone else that you’ve ever loved”. Alex replied “I’ll live to tell another tale, Njord. It will be you whose story ends here”.

Njord asked “Why bother even fighting for the western world”. He added “If you truly saw what Makarov was going against, You’d be with us”. Alex responded “I took an Oath when I enlisted into the United States Army”. He said “I will continue to live by that oath, I will defend my nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. As Njord said “Your country will crumble, for what it has done”.

Alex responded only with “You’re no-longer Njord”. While the two charged at each-other, now it was a hand-to-hand combat. Meanwhile, 141 was moving closer to a supposed bunker where Makarov was hiding out. As they found the door, Ghost said “Time to finish this once and for all”. As 141 breached the main facility, Alex was fighting Njord. Both the two were duking it out hand-to-hand now.

However, a truck hits Njord at full-speed, causing Njord to fly into a ditch. Alex stopped, which he looked at the Truck now. Kamarov got out wearing his gas-mask. He asked “You okay? I saw you two fighting and thought I’d help”. Alex nodded briefly. Although an axe hit Kamarov in the head, Njord got back up. Alex looked at Kamarov’s body, which already did it for him now. He then charged at Njord with his own axe.

Now the two began fighting against each-other once again. This time, Alex was giving no mercy at the end now. He was avenging Kamarov’s death. At this point it was to sacrifice the greater good for the future of Russia against the Ultranationalists.
